The mesh is using Hex8 elements. On applying contact sizing i do not see any refinement on the bigger block. Only when I enforce tetrahedral meshing that I am able to apply the contact sizing for refinement at interface.<\/p>\n<p>So, my question is if there is a way to refine mesh at interface with hex8 elements?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/21-12-2023-1703140656-mceclip0.png\" width=\"387\" height=\"332\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;I want to get a refined mesh at interface on both components, something similar to the one shown below. :-<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/21-12-2023-1703140790-mceclip1.png\" width=\"288\" height=\"204\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-341399","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["21014","13927","240"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.74.191"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["637"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["341399"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","13927","21014"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["342178"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["342178"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-12-27 06:42:58"]},"test":"pranshu-kharbandantu-edu-sg"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/341399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/341399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
